US President Barack Obama has proposed significant new curbs on the activities of banks to try to prevent future financial crises. The plans - the most far-reaching yet -include limits to the size of banks and restrictions on riskier trading.

It is by no means clear that ongoing extension of state controls in the solution. Arguably if those companies that got themselves into difficulty had been allowed to go under the market would be now have cleared out the companies that acted unwisely with depositers funds.
